hi Liz

12:49 am

Lizlin

Hi Flosey - has the weather warmed up a bit?

12:50 am

flosey

it isn't that cold Liz, just unusual to have snow here - the ground is not frozen so it's quite slippery

12:51 am

Lizlin

That's really not very pleasant for you. I saw a photo of my friend's dog - they live in Vancouver. The dog was not impressed with the snow.

12:51 am

flosey

ah, some love romping in it

12:51 am

cybernan

still need a 9 but crashing -- see you tomorrow

12:52 am

Lizlin

Sleep well nan

12:52 am

Lizlin

If it's anything like the islands we passed on our cruise, it's beautiful.

12:52 am

Lizlin

Shame about the bridge though.

12:54 am

flosey

yes Liz, it is quite beautiful - especially with the now, it looks like Christmas should for me, being from Ontario

12:54 am

flosey

*hugs rose* Hello my dear friend. How are you today?

2:51 am

grannyrose

doing goodly. did two loads of washing.. himself hung it out. other than that not much.

2:52 am

sprite

very good. Are you feeling a little less down as well?

2:55 am

grannyrose

sort of..zapping nerve in knee which isn't quite so painful as a result.

2:56 am

sprite

*hugs rose* Know that you are in my heart and prayers constantly, darling. Did my translated poem make any sense to you?

2:57 am

grannyrose

yes thanx sweetie. it was lovely and so deeply meaningful to me. xoxox

2:57 am

sprite

am so glad. Translating poetry is a... errrr... lady dog.

2:58 am

grannyrose

you did well... loll

2:58 am

grannyrose

prose is as good as poetry as far as i am concerned.

2:59 am

sprite

yeah, I knew beforehand that trying to keep the rhyme would be a very bad idea, lol.

3:01 am

sprite

am I a big party pooper if I say I wish it was january already? All the december stress is getting to me. Too busy, too much obligations, and such a stressful energy going around. While all I want is simple, simpler, simplest. A candle is at least as effective as a house full of blinking lights. A branch of spruce at least as lovely as a whole tree. Ugh.

3:02 am

grannyrose

i hear you sweetie.

3:04 am

sprite

and now I have to run off again, sigh. Tomorrow morning I will be working until 11 am. 7-11 morning shift. And Thursday I have to drive Tim to the dentist, he has broken a tooth. Then friday morning a nail customer. I will email you, sweetie... so sorry to be so inconsistent this week.

3:05 am

sprite

*hugs* and lots of love to you both. And rose... hold on, dear one. Be very very kind to yourself. Luvsyalots

Kallia

we get a mixture of both here

5:21 am

zoozzoom

I hate it when we get gales...not keen on high winds.

5:21 am

2:02 pm

Judi

Nice, Hurshy! What a cutie. Will he be living in your hoodie permanently?

2:02 pm

Judi

She. Sorry.

2:02 pm

Judi

And... Hello!

2:02 pm

hurshy

no, she also likes to run about :)

2:03 pm

hurshy

hello :)

2:04 pm

Judi

With any luck, I will be rescuing a kitty tonight and turning him over to a shelter/foster organization. A sweet tabby who is living outside a resturant at the mall.

2:05 pm

hurshy

i hope it goes smoothly!!

2:06 pm

Judi

Paws crossed. He is so friendly. Comes right over and greets everyone. Some employees are feeding him, but no one wants to claim him.

2:06 pm

hurshy

aww, hope there's a happy ending in store, home for the holidays

2:07 pm

Judi

That is my plan!

2:07 pm

Judi

Wish I could take him, but my other male cat would beat him up.

2:08 pm

hurshy

i follow a rescue online, tinykittens.com - the woman who runs it also coordinates with a shelter in her area and they have been doing TNR with ferals and some of the ferals have become un-feral and gotten homes

2:08 pm

hurshy

usually 2 males can get along well, if introduced properly. it's 2 females that is the most trouble.

2:09 pm

Judi

The one I'm working with does the same. I have two of my kitties from them. They get the non-feral ones vetted and out to fosters.

2:10 pm

hurshy

phantom: sentinel

2:12 pm

Judi

I already have 3 cats. That's enough!

2:12 pm

hurshy

ah, yes.

2:13 pm

hurshy

we just returned to being a 3 cat household, after 2.75 years of being a 2 cat household.

2:13 pm

Judi

Trying to avoid the stigma of "Crazy Cat Lady".

2:14 pm

hurshy

i embrace the crazy cat lady ness but yeah if you get too many - even with three - when you see bad poo or find vomit, the more you have, the harder it is to figure out who is sick!

2:15 pm

Judi

So true. Plus we have a dog, so, the humans are vastly outnumbered in my house.

2:16 pm

hurshy

what kind of dog

2:16 pm

Judi

She is a husky / border collie mix.

2:16 pm

hurshy

ooo, sounds pretty

2:17 pm

Judi

She's beautiful and such a love. Angel dog.

2:43 pm

EvaNadine

hi all

4:39 pm

Nef

Hello; not many around right now?

4:41 pm

doseffing

... evening Nef ... winter hit you yet ...

4:42 pm

Nef

Oh, yeah. We got 8 inches of fluffy snow & also below zero temps. It's okay; we just need to get used to it

4:43 pm

doseffing

... ya beat us ... good for you ... we only got 5" and are only getting down to 14F ... good to hear someone is colder than I am

4:43 pm

Nef

How about you?

4:44 pm

doseffing

... of course ours wasn't fluffy ... it was heart attack heavy wet stuff

4:44 pm

Nef

I think Toronto usually is warmer than MN, isn't it?

4:45 pm

doseffing

... heart of winter ... yeah ... you're colder than Toronto ... but not Winnipeg ... which I'd never go to between October and May ... too cold

4:45 pm

Nef

Oh My! I'm glad *I* didn't have to shovel your snow! (Not that I shovel our own snow anymore anyway; we've hired people to do that for us).

4:46 pm

doseffing

... It's my main exercise in winter ... but I cheat and shovel it two or three times during the snowfall so that I'm usually not shoveling too much

4:47 pm

doseffing

... but if it falls over night my wife will get her feet wet walking out to the street because I rarely do it before leaving for school

4:49 pm

Nef

Good idea. BTW, I grew up about 150 miles southeast of Winnipeg in NW MN. So, I moved south for the nicer climate (to the Twin Cities - Mpls/St. Paul) & there really is a big difference being 350 miles south of there.

4:50 pm

doseffing

... it's crazy around here ... I'm down near the lake so we don't usually get that much snow any more ... but go 5 miles north to Highway 7 and they get twice the snow I get ...

4:51 pm

doseffing

... and I grew up "pur laine" in Montreal ... so I'm supposed to immune to cold and snow ... I'm not

4:52 pm

Nef

I hear you! I live exactly 6 miles east of my one aunt; she might get rain (during the summer) & we'd get no rain. It seems the weather doesn't always run in straight lines

4:54 pm

Nef

LOL! Isn't that the truth! My daughter works for the MN tourism department; & people call in June wondering if they can go cross country skiing here -- in June!

4:55 pm

doseffing

... yeah ... most of our snow comes from Kansas and Nebraska ... it sweeps across the border at Detroit and then splits in two ... one stream goes south of Lake Ontario and dumps all over Scrabbler ... the other bends north and dumps all over Crossy ... and the north shore of Lake Ontario gets half of what those two places get

4:56 pm

doseffing

... I lived with some guys from the Niagara Peninsula during my undergrad years and they told stories of people coming across the border with skis on their car tops in July

4:59 pm

doseffing

... but then I worked one summer near what is now called Thunderbay ... not that far from Duluth ... an on the 22nd of August while doing road work in the lee of the mountain there was two inches of snow on the ground in August ... it was gone by noon ... but the heaviest coat I had was a denim jacket and it was miserably cold for the first two hours of the day

4:59 pm

Nef

Wow! We get a lot of weather from Alaska (those "Alberta Clippers") or from Montana (mostly in the summer I think).
Sometimes you just have to wonder where some people get their ideas about where you live, right?

5:00 pm

Nef

Oh, I've seen it snow in NW MN in May; but it never lasts

5:01 pm

Eva

nice to read about a lot of people colder that I am

5:01 pm

doseffing

... Toronto used to get a really big dump in the first week of May about every five years but it hasn't happened recently ... mid April maybe but not later than that

5:02 pm

Nef

Hi Eva. Vermont isn't cold? (or is that a not cold YET statement?)

5:02 pm

doseffing

... oh well ... but you've got ski hills ... and that means far too much snow for me

5:03 pm

Eva

It was 4 the other morning (you have a really good memory Nef!), but the past couple of winters we haven't had the weeks of -20's that we used to get

5:04 pm

Eva

we badly need a lot of snow this winter.

5:04 pm

Nef

(I read you profile, Eva -- I don't remember much) ;-)

5:04 pm

Eva

Isn't Thunder Bay there the bald eagles go in the summer?

5:04 pm

doseffing

... for the resort business or for the water in spring?

5:04 pm

Eva

both

5:05 pm

Eva

phew Nef. Know I don't feel so bad about myself

5:06 pm

Eva

Think MN might be colder than here?

5:06 pm

doseffing

... haven't heard of that ... I'd think they'd go north in Alberta so that they can stay in the mountains (Rockies) ... Thunderbay is just rocks and trees and swamp ...

5:07 pm

Nef

Now that we're having such a nice chat; I have to leave. :-(

5:07 pm

doseffing

... enjoy dinner ... my wife got held up a work so I must hold off

5:09 pm

Nef

There are bald eagles all along the upper Mississippi River all year round. And we had at least 2 pair of them in our neighborhood this past summer; (there's a whole bunch of lakes within 5 miles of where I live, & sometimes we see them fishing in the lake about a block from our house.

5:10 pm

doseffing

... they'd probably go farther north than Thunderbay ... it's on Superior ... they'd go north to all the smaller lakes

5:10 pm

Eva

how wonderful to see them so easily!

5:10 pm

Nef

I need to take my daughter to Costco. She had a seizure (for no reason!) a few months ago & isn't allowed to drive until after Dec. 19th. So, I need to play taxi again (I think she's Christmas shopping)

5:11 pm

Nef

Anyway, time to go. Happy Babbling! (I'll be back later to finish).

5:12 pm

doseffing

... the life of parent ... I don't miss not driving too much ... and I wouldn't like to drive into the city in order to save the day the way I used to

5:13 pm

7:19 pm

rururocks

7:19 pm

Jellen

Oh duh. Just occurred to me to turn it down....

7:19 pm

Jellen

He's not a very good boyfriend in that department. lol

7:20 pm

rururocks

at what the fan balancing of the warm foot thing

7:20 pm

Jellen

Either! Ha!

7:21 pm

rururocks

oh wow.. then there is no hope for this relationship

7:21 pm

Jellen

He's always cold...I'm usually warm.

7:21 pm

rururocks

i'm never cold.. I run a bit warm too

7:21 pm

rururocks

my house is like 60 degrees most of the time

7:22 pm

Jellen

Lol

7:23 pm

rururocks

I better toddle off and do up some dinner.

Hi Bugs!!

8:17 pm

Bugsaw

any news on the job front origami?

8:17 pm

aebmusica

Ty ddb and Bugsaw!

8:18 pm

Bugsaw

I don't like to do it much either, aeb

8:18 pm

origami

They called me to ask if they could contact my references. A good sign :D

8:19 pm

Bugsaw

very nice. I hope it goes well for you.

8:20 pm

origami

Thanks. I don't think they have contacted them yet, though. I would have heard.

8:20 pm

Bugsaw

crumbs. maybe they are just slow or someone hasn't got back to them yet

8:21 pm

origami

All of my references are retired, so they are probably out playing golf, quilting, volunteering or something.

8:22 pm

Bugsaw

that must be it

8:22 pm

Bugsaw

keep hoping

8:23 pm

origami

things are less than ideal where I am, so I am keeping up hope

9:15 pm

Nef

Hi again. ori, I hope you have good news soon!

9:17 pm

Nef

tabies

9:17 pm

rururocks

We should all be references for ori

9:17 pm

Nef

Oops. Sorry

9:18 pm

origami

Oooh, yes. I will list you Ru :D

9:18 pm

origami

Thanks Nef. I am looking forward to hearing from them.

9:19 pm

Nef

That would be a good idea, ru, except the only thing I know about ore is that she's nice, & a good cluer.

9:20 pm

origami

Every little bit helps Nef :-)

9:21 pm

Nef

true; heck! Being a good cluer might be the perfect reference for an absent-minded professor! ;-)

9:22 pm

rururocks

Interviewer: so mr rururocks... may i call you mr rocks?

9:22 pm

origami

Exactly!

9:22 pm

Nef

LOL! :-D

9:23 pm

origami

Mr. Rocks. I shall refer to you as that always!

9:24 pm

rururocks

Lol

9:26 pm

origami

I am imagining a reference list of babblers ... Mr. Rocks, Nef, Rubyfoo, Bugsaw, etc. My references sound a little sketchy.

9:27 pm

Nef

Just a little bit sketchy? ;-)

Sounds like members of a gang of some sort...

9:27 pm

origami

Or maybe a rap group :D

9:28 pm

Nef

We will have to refer to ru as Mr. Rocks all of the time so we don't confuse him with The Rock...

9:28 pm

Nef

Yeah, a rap group seems like the Babble group

9:30 pm

origami

We are nefarious characters :-)

9:31 pm

Nef

with good vocabularies

9:33 pm

origami

Indeed!

9:41 pm

rururocks

and neck problems :D

9:43 pm

rururocks

(from looking at twisty words) (finishes joke)

9:46 pm

origami

OK, now got it! Pesky twisty words.

9:48 pm

Nef

I agree too (but I had to think about it too)

9:51 pm

rururocks

it would help a lot if you guys had a warped sense of humor like me

9:52 pm

Nef

ru, you don't think we have warped senses of humor? Maybe our warps are a bit different than yours?

9:52 pm

rururocks

waves to doren

9:52 pm

origami

Oh, Mr. Rocks. I am a legend regarding the warped sense of humor.

9:53 pm

rururocks

um.. hard to actually guess nef.. but I doubt your sense of humor would rival mine

9:53 pm

rururocks

I'm a very sick puppy :D

9:54 pm

rururocks

Guess who is going out on a dinner date soon?

9:54 pm

origami

Oooooh, a warped Mr. Rocks?

9:54 pm

rururocks

yes indeedy

9:54 pm

rururocks

i'm pretty excited

9:55 pm

origami

Cool Mr. Rocks. I will see you tomorrow.

9:56 pm

Nef

Actually, if you consider that I worked as an RN for 45 years (& as an aide in a nursing home for 3 years before that); my sense of humor is pretty dark sometimes....
Nurses see some things that others don't

9:56 pm

origami

Signing out now. Got stuff to do. See you all soon.

9:56 pm

rururocks

see you about 12:30-1:00 ori..i'll text you

9:57 pm

Nef

Sounds good ru.

9:57 pm

Nef

Niters, origami! Keep your hopes up!

9:57 pm

rururocks

she is waaaay above my Pay grade if you know what I mean..but she is going out with me. I'm pretty stoked.

9:58 pm

rururocks

if she drinks diet coke at dinner though I'm going to be upset :D

9:58 pm

Nef

So, where did you meet her, ru?

9:58 pm

origami

Cool Mr. Rock. Think high!

9:59 pm

rururocks

a friend introduced us

9:59 pm

origami

You have to give her a diet coke once in a while, dude.

9:59 pm

rururocks

no.. no.. nooo..

9:59 pm

origami

Poof.

9:59 pm

rururocks

bye ori

9:59 pm

Nef

NICE!!! If your friend introduced you; your friend had to make you seem to be up to her level at least.

10:00 pm

rururocks

well.. not really, she told her I was a "nice" guy..

10:01 pm

Nef

ru, how would you react if she drank some other soda; say, a 7 Up?

10:01 pm

rururocks

sorry nef.. that's an inside joke.. regarding another friend.. just some whacky humor for me

10:02 pm

Nef

A "nice guy" is high praise from a friend.

10:03 pm

rururocks

well. I guess. we had a nice talk over coffee.. so she might be slightly interested.. she's really hard for me to read

10:03 pm

Nef

at least you female friend didn't rate you as a 3 on a scale of 10 or something like that...

10:03 pm

rururocks

thank god for that. :D

10:05 pm

Nef

Women don't do that usually; a "nice guy" is a compliment from a woman

10:05 pm

rururocks

well.. it feels good to reach out and give it a try again.. i'm not giving up on having a relationship

10:07 pm

hurshy

anyone in the US have suggestions about what kind of store i would go to in order to find christmas STICKERS ? like sheets or rolls of stickers for kids? i don't have time to get them delivered from buying on amz

10:07 pm

Nef

that's good. Just don't rush things or get pushy.

10:07 pm

hurshy

tried dollar tree and big lots today, no luck

10:08 pm

rururocks

target has them

10:08 pm

rururocks

lots of them

10:09 pm

Nef

I really don't even know how old you are; but my thinking is that women of a certain age have been around long enough to judge people fairly quickly

10:09 pm

hurshy

ahhh thanks ruru

10:09 pm

Nef

What do you need them for hurshy?

10:10 pm

hurshy

kids

10:10 pm

Nef

are you a teacher?

10:10 pm

hurshy

getting there...

10:11 pm

hurshy

i've been an aide and will be doing student teaching after the holidays.

10:11 pm

Nef

Ahh! Congrats!

10:11 pm

rururocks

I'm 62 Nef

10:13 pm

Nef

I knew you weren't a spring chicken, ru; just didn't know how old.

10:14 pm

rururocks

i'm more like a sprung chicken :D

10:15 pm

Nef

LOL!

10:19 pm

rururocks

(wonders what women of a certain age is)

10:21 pm

Dorens

hello and good night.

10:21 pm

Nef

It's a phrase used when the women are old enough to know better but still have the courage to go ahead & do something anyway

10:21 pm

Nef

Hi Dorens; & good night Dorens

10:22 pm

rururocks

hi and bye doren

10:22 pm

rururocks

that sounds like a LOT of women I know

10:24 pm

Nef

Well, maybe they are all about the same age then

10:25 pm

Kamanjah

Hi all!

10:26 pm

Nef

hello Kaman; I don't believe I've met you before.

10:26 pm

Kamanjah

Ru, you're too young to give up trying, for sure!

10:27 pm

Kamanjah

Hi Nef, we have, I believe, but it's been a long while...I'm usually done by now, but I spent all day trying to figure out which computer to give hubby, ugh! He's still using an XP machine and I'm sick of trying to maintain an unsupported operating system

10:28 pm

Kamanjah

So I'm doing what he did last year, lol! Giving him something to save me grief!

10:28 pm

rururocks

:D kama.. thanks for that

10:29 pm

wvteach

help with BO 5/18 and 6/30 - my last two words

10:29 pm

Kamanjah

Hubs just turned 62, and we've only been married 5 1/2 years.

10:30 pm

Nef

Well, I bought my hubby a computer for his birthday this past year; an HP Windows !0. He recently broke the touch screen feature

10:30 pm

wvteach

thnx ru

10:30 pm

rururocks

yw teach

10:31 pm

Kamanjah

Oh no, Nef! I wouldn't trust hubby with a touch screen - he tried a mechanical pencil on my phone over Thanksgiving! ::shudder::
Grabbed that thing out of his hand so quickly...and he's "huh? what?"

10:32 pm

Nef

My DH has MS and forgets a lot lately and I thought the touch screen would help him. It didn't (he's almost 69)

10:35 pm

Kamanjah

DH refuses a 'smart' phone, and is happy with his flip phone. Fine with me - one less thing to fix - I'm the techie, he's more of a carpenter, fixer type! The forgetting is frightening, my DH has PD, so a touch screen is difficult for him. Movement disorders suck.

10:35 pm

Nef

I'm shuddering with you just thinking about someone using a mechanical pencil on my iPhone!

10:36 pm

sandyloo

Kamanjah, I am fascinated by your icon, can you tell me about it?

10:38 pm

Nef

sandyloo, what is a chook?

10:38 pm

Kamanjah

I play violin and viola. I found this print on eBay and bought it. I used to dance too, but an injury put a stop to that, so I started playing more violin with the other musicians that accompanied the dance troupe. Kamanjah is the English version of an old Arabic/Egyptian word for violin.

10:39 pm

sandyloo

aah that sounds interesting, My father (passed away now) played the violin -

10:40 pm

sandyloo

Nef, surely you know that a chook is a chicken - I have 22 now oops sorry 21 , a snake got one the other day

10:40 pm

Kamanjah

Sandy, you sound like my next door neighbor! You have many of the same critters!

10:40 pm

rururocks

you aren't just stringing us along are you kama?

10:41 pm

sandyloo

lol

10:41 pm

rururocks

a snake?

10:41 pm

Nef

Thanks for the info, sandyloo. But no, I've never heard of a hook before (not an American term I guess)

10:42 pm

rururocks

chook nef is a chicken

10:42 pm

Kamanjah

My dad was a music teacher and wanted me to play violin. He played ok, but was a great pianist. Never would teach me piano, insisted that parents shouldn't be their kid's teacher for instruments. Don't understand that now - he taught me so much about science and nature!

10:43 pm

sandyloo

yes we have dugites, tigers and brown snakes - all of which are very venemous and can kill you. Ous alpaca was bitten by one - it died - the stock can be bitten on the face while they are grazing

10:43 pm

rururocks

That was what Elvis was singing about nef..

10:43 pm

Kamanjah

HaHa, Ru! Not string anyone along, just have a lot of string and strings around this place ;)

10:43 pm

rururocks

brown snakes are awful.. ugh

10:44 pm

rururocks

they are very aggressive too

10:44 pm

Nef

LOL,ru!

10:44 pm

Kamanjah

We worry about the rattlesnakes here in Calif

10:44 pm

rururocks

aren't they the most deadly snake on the planet Sandy?

10:45 pm

rururocks

rattlesnakes have nothing on brown snakes kama brown snakes have a much deadlier venom

10:46 pm

sandyloo

I really hate all snakes - We have seen 5 already since the beginning of November when the sunny weather has set in. I don't know how deadly comparitively they are but I just run if I see one and yell for husband - we have a gun loaded with ratshot to shoot them - Husband won't let me touch it!!!

10:46 pm

MollyL

Isn't the term "chook" an insult when used by Australians?

10:47 pm

sandyloo

not really - more a term of endearment - eg: she's an old chook! LOL

10:48 pm

rururocks

I would be paralyzed seeing a brown snake . .they are big too aren't they?

10:49 pm

MollyL

Interesting. A Google search on the word compared it to the use of moron.

10:49 pm

rururocks

go with the Australian here molly.. google isn't always right :D

10:50 pm

sandyloo

dugites look a lot like a brown snake and they are the most common here . Down here in the south west I have seen some that are very big We also get the largest kangaroos down here

10:50 pm

Kamanjah

I don't want to find out about brown snakes then!

10:50 pm

rururocks

oh really?

10:50 pm

rururocks

I've only seen kangaroos in a zoo

10:51 pm

rururocks

it'd be awesome to see them in the wild

10:51 pm

rururocks

dugites sounds weird too

10:51 pm

rururocks

so what kind of snake nailed your chicken?

10:52 pm

MollyL

Google knows what Ash Wednesday is Ru.
: D

10:52 pm

sandyloo

They are a pest down here . lots of people have baby joeys as pets but when they become adults they are too aggresive Most lkely a dugite got the chook - you never see the ones that bite

10:53 pm

rururocks

LOL Molly

10:53 pm

sandyloo

We see a family of Kangaroos every morning on our paddock , I like them they are fun to watch and sometimes the horses seem to have games with them

10:53 pm

rururocks

I'm all for horsing around with Roos

10:54 pm

sandyloo

The most common cause of deaths among the chickens are the foxes which are an introduced species and reek havoc on our native animals

10:55 pm

sandyloo

Our chookyard is like fort knox and we have to lock them up at night or they won't survive

10:55 pm

rururocks

jeez I bet sandy

10:56 pm

rururocks

I couldn't live around snakes all the time.. it would totally creep me out

10:56 pm

Nef

I agree with you, ru.

10:58 pm

sandyloo

Fortunately we dont see them often but this year seems to be different and I hate them too, but its one of the few disadvantages of living in paradise....serpents'''''

10:59 pm

Kamanjah

We have a lot of wild critters here, never quite know which one gets the chickens. Coyotes, foxes, raccoons, skunks, bobcats, mountain lions and the occasional bear. Rural life is interesting.

10:59 pm

rururocks

mr president once told us a horrible story about brown snakes

11:00 pm

rururocks

yeah kama.. you live in wild country .. that's for sure

11:00 pm

sandyloo

You have a lot more dangerous animals than we do that is for sure.

11:01 pm

rururocks

i think Australia has more venomous creatures at the top of the list than anywhere else in the world

11:02 pm

rururocks

and great whites too.. it's amazing you guys thrive

11:03 pm

rururocks

i have to go finish the laundry.. be back later.. nice chat everyone

11:03 pm

Jellen

Hi all.

11:03 pm

I know we have a lot of spiders that are not good as well - and I must admit there seem to more sharks - more people getting killed by them

11:03 pm

sandyloo

Hi Jellen

11:03 pm

ursh

hello all - we survive here in South Africa with black mambas - often found in residential areas. Green mambas fortunately prefer river side bush

11:04 pm

Jellen

Oh. I was supposed to do laundry tonight. :(

11:04 pm

sandyloo

They sound pretty fierce, we don't have a lot of snakes in the built up suburbs

11:07 pm

Jellen

11:09 pm
